Dearest creature in creation,Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verseSounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy,Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard,Dies and diet, lord and word,Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague youWith such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak:Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low,Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food,Nor is mould like should and would. Viscous, viscount, load and broad,Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OKWhen you correctly say croquet,Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,Friend and fiend, alive and live.
